I've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.

I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.

View allI'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm a 24-year-old woman with a weight of 37kg, and my heartbeat is constantly around 134bpm, even when I'm resting. For the last 5 years, my heart rate usually stays in the range of 120 to 130. I dont have any other health issues and havent felt any discomfort, but I'm worried this might be dangerous. Do I need surgery, or can this be treated with medicines? Does homeopathy have any solutions? I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Can you help me figure this out?
Your heart rate of 134bpm is slightly elevated, but since you have been experiencing heart rates in the range of 120 to 130 bpm at rest for the past 5 years without any other symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Surgery is not typically needed for a slightly elevated heart rate. Medications can be used to help control heart rate if necessary. In your case, a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower your heart rate and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to be taken once daily. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?
